- Utilize Gas Calc and Flow Cal measurement software for calculations and system analysis.
- Ensure compliance with applicable gas measurement regulations and industry standards.
- Manage multiple projects (approximately six) at various phases simultaneously.
- Coordinate with field leaders to analyze engineering scope during the design process.
Required Skills & Qualifications:
- Bachelor's degree in Engineering (Mechanical preferred) or related field.
- 2 years of mechanical piping design experience (natural gas piping preferred, but experience in ASME steam or generation plants will be considered).
- Experience in gas facility design, including metering installations and chromatography.
- Strong understanding of gas codes and measurement engineering practices.
- Experience in sizing measurement equipment for gas metering applications.
- Ability to work with designers to develop station piping layouts and measurement facility designs.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
- Ability to manage multiple projects effectively.
- Candidates with backgrounds in electrical engineering, design, or upstream oil and gas (reservoir engineers, drilling/well engineers) may be considered if they have relevant and sufficient experience in gas pipeline engineering, gas facilities/piping layouts, or engineering gas measurement equipment within gas facilities.
Work Environment & Schedule:
- Hybrid work model: Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday onsite at the nearest facility.
- Field visits as needed (travel across Michigan, from Northern Michigan to the Indiana border).
